Noon Academy is a digital community, committed to imparting education that is accessible and affordable. Delivering quality education with an unflinching growth, Noon zigzags across geographical locations and time zones. Noon currently operates in Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, India, and Egypt.
Spreading around the world and strengthening its roots, Noon is shaping how we commit to the cause of education in Pakistan.
UNICEF maintains that Pakistan has one of the largest young populations in South Asia, with 65.4 million young people between 10 and 24 years old.
Learning at Noon connects the young learners, socially resourced or underserved, with teachers known to the education community.
Nooners are making a difference in the lives of millions of students in Pakistan. We may very well be standing at the start of a digital transformation of tution in the country.
The Noon Values
Standing up for its values, Noon has come forward to translate its ethos into real time action.
So what does Noon believe in? Diversity. Openness. Adaptability. Responsiveness to change.
Diversity
Come One, Come All. In Pakistan, we have several regional and international boards that have their own curricula and assessments. We also see a parallel interest in traditional religious schooling. Despite the framework, little seems to be stepping out of the paper.
UNICEF statistics state that Pakistan has a staggering 22.8 million out of school children (ages 5-16). This number represents 44% of all children in the country. Noon Academy may not have planned to impact 44% of all children in Pakistan; however, it may very well be doing exactly that, perhaps inadvertently.
Noon welcomes everyone. Whether you are homeschooled or studying at a school, looking for extra tuition or want to challenge yourself – come one, come all.
Openness
The Red Tape Gone Missing. There are no formalities at Noon. There are no admission forms to fill in, no student videos to upload. Noon takes you quickly from registration to classes without any preliminary meetings to attend or prerequisites to present.
Democratic Education. Noon’s philosophy entails that education should be available to everyone with the same rights to speak, participate, and learn. Noon does not undermine the importance of an individual’s voice – teachers and students alike.
Adaptability
COVID-19 Response Noon Academy surfaced as the industry leader at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that challenged the limits of in-person tutoring. Rest assured, the Noon team was busy developing its nascent EdTech app into a futuristic one.
Changing World is a Moving World For decades, technology in education has been the hot bed of ideas, innovative and mobile. The instructional design theorists and tech developers have been reinventing and testing what works best for the remote learners. Designing an all-in-one app, Noon has landed right in the center of it all.
Noon is for the changing world, a moving world.
Responsiveness to Change
Noon has bold aims of revolutionizing conventional tuition by staying abreast of curricula changes and evolution of pedagogy. Noon is also sensitive to local cultural values – it responds to changes when it goes to different countries and navigates terrains.
